Innings of the week 12-18th March

[PhoenixFire]

If he was, do you think he'd be on here posting hours after finding out?

I think you could have guessed that I was using the extreme end of possibilty, jeez........

 

[Goughy]

You've been totally melodramatic about the whole thing tbh Richard. We all know it's terribly sad news of course but you've gone a bit overboard at times having read your posts today.

I agree with you completely. However, each to their own I guess.

 

[Tomm NCCC]

Call me or even but Styris's innings was far more worthy of a nomination than Kallis, Boucher and Ponting's genuine-minnow bashing.

I know, I will take the ass-raping for the lack of quality. Sorreh

Exactly. Different people react in different ways.

Please don't suggest everyone should feel the same way as you. I have certainly not been melodramatic - it may be obvious that I'm not be Bob Woolmer's son, for instance, but you have no clue whatsoever as to what circumstances may colour my reaction to the tragedy of his death.

Thanks to PF for sticking-up for me, might add.

Richard can feel whatever he likes and I personally admire him for caring so much about someone he has never met.

But some of his posts seem like he is suggesting that people are wrong for carrying on as normal, which is wrong in itself IMO. There's also the fact that he seems to mention it wherever possible, which really does make it hard to carry on as normal, as some people are trying very hard to do...

 

[Richard]

That's certainly not my intention - here, for example, I was just pointing-out that to carry on playing a game of cricket while learning of such a thing in the middle is quite some achievement.

That's assuming everyone reacted the way you did, though. It's quite possible that the guys who scored big reacted in a similar way to Fiery.

Also, I wasn't actually referring to your posts in this thread when I said "his posts seem like he is suggesting that people are wrong for carrying on as normal" - I was more referring to your posts just after you heard the news, where you proclaimed in a few threads that had nothing to do with Woolmer that you were shocked people were managing to talk abot non-Woolmer matters...

 

[age_master]

Boucher for spectacularness for me

That was principally referring to the nonsense Gavaskar-comments thread that was just going on and on and on.

Despite Jerry getting 9 votes and Niall O'Brien 24?

Sounds dodgy.

I knew someone would fall for my clever little gag there

Of course its Niall O'Brien. Duh.
